Topic: boss 302 1970 Hurst Shifter Handle (Read 1284 times)

I know all Mustangs came with the Hurst Shifter handle in 1970 but did they all have the "set-screw" hole , I was looking in the Farr book and on page 72 it shows a Hurst handle without the set-screw hole , is this a pre-production handle??? or did some slip by , thanks

The deal is this; cars got the set-screw handle from the factory. However, test drivers and five-finger discount artists who wanted to prolong their Boss 302 experience helped themselves to handles leaving Ford dealers to get replacement handles. These handles did not have the set screws. Ford used non-screw handles beginning with the '71 line-up. A buddy of mine has a NOS D0Z handle in the box and it does not have the screw...replacement piece for the lifted '70 cars.

No NOS service knobs in stock at the present time. Only reproductions. The black background is correct. It is not paint but actually the affect of the laser cutting.Paint can be made to look nice with attention to detail.Mark@TH

I spoke with a Hurst tech about two months ago, they plan to resume production of the Hurst T-handle underdiscussion. At the time they were retooling and expectedto have them available by end of 1Q. You can ck theirwebsite for updates.

10-4 they would be worth a mint. It seems Original is always nicer than repop. The set screw reproductions I have are real nice but nobody does it like Ford. I've also heard that Hurst is getting geared up to do some.I hope the Hurst knobs are as nice as the original pieces.Mark@TH[/i[
